A certain material can be molded into different shapes like a sphere, a square, and a cube. Would all of these objects fall at the same speed? (1 point)

No. Although the force of gravity is the same on all objects, air resistance changes based on the shape (and frontal area), so they will fall at different speeds in air. (In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate.)
